I may be wrong, but I think he said it's a nifty solution to an xB problem that's yet to be identified. However, unless something else crops up, the subwoofer or race seat brace possibilities could be good !

well i will say this! i had 7 people in the car yesterday. 3 in back seat and 2 in the trunk area. gave me a 4" drop lol. it felt much better around corners with the brace than it did last time with 7 people. more soild and not bouncy

Say Mike, nice work on the fab man, looks good & stiffening the rear shock mounting points even a little will allow the shocks/springs/axle etc to all do their respective jobs more effectively without adding-in the twist of the sheet metal at the towers...

Oh, & to all the nay-sayers of its function or necessity, remember on the first page (& again throughout) Mike did say all he wanted was an aesthetic piece in the cargo area, not a "cure-all" rear brace.

Bump from the dead, but did you ever make any more of these?

Hey brother I've been waiting for my bar too. I got cash in hand and a can of red spray waiting to go. TB performance products doesn't seem to be able to get an xB2 into their shop, which for the life of me I don't understand why. If they were here in Washington I'd guarantee they'd have no issues.
